David, I know your a very busy man and have little time to answer everyones questions. Im hoping you can find the time to answer mine as Ive been searching the interenet for this answer for days. (having no luck whatsoever).
I have a friend, and no its not me, who has her boyfriend visiting from New Zealand. He has been here for six months and wants to stay longer. His plane ticket is open for a year, which is confusing to me as as I understand it ...is only allowed to visit Canada for 6 months at a time.
What my question is, after ive babbled way too long for such a busy man ....Is he still legal to stay here? as he doesnt want to piss off immigration , he is eventually going to move here if accepted .
If you cant find the time, I totally understand and will do my best to keep searching the internet . Thank you so very much for your time ...im going to put your addy in my book as I too will need info ...ill be moving to United States in July of 2004.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!
Sincerely, DXXXXXXXXXX

david ingram replies:
His passport should have an expiration date stamped in it. If it has passed, he is illegal and should go if he wants to keep everyone happy. Maybe make a trip to Seattle and back which would / could renew and / or give him another six months. If his visa time has not expired, he should go to:

And apply for a visitor's extension. He should do this 3 weeks before his time is up.
Hopin gthis helps, I remain
